CURRENT MISSION

Back home safely and try to enjoy my own town as I enjoyed the others.

ABOUT ME

I'm Silvia, but normally called by Sil or Silvinha (is like Silvie in portuguese). I live in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. I just came back home after a year being au pair the sedond time in Namur, Belgium. Before I was au pair in Eindhoven, Holland.
I love my city though I think it will be hard to be back on track again... So that's why I really need CS!!! Need to make new friends!!
If you're living in BH, don't hesitate to contact me! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Optimism. It doesn't use to be my word, but I'm changing my panoramas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To be honest, my first motivation to be a Couch Surfing member was just to get a free-stay during my travels... Very bad motivation!!! But after my first experience I completely changed my mind and now I use CS as a great "data bank" for new friends.
It's amazing how you can find nice people here through non-convencional ways! It shows how life could be intersting!

All my CS experiences where good! I just have to say thank you for the guy who created this website!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was little my family used to do boat trips, and I will never forget the dolphins following us across the sea and also when I touched a sea turtle.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I have to teach: always be yourself. No one could be more intersting than you if you really enjoy being yourself.
What I have to learn: to not be afraid to open my mouth and say what I'm thinking. Sometimes I'm afraid to say what's going on...
What I want to share: though you don't care about it, there's a God who really cares about people. I would love to share Him with you.
